Abstract: The invention relates to a wind farm having a multiplicity of wind energy installations (11; 12, WEC). The electrical energy produced by the wind energy installations (11, 12, WEC) is transferred to a public electricity grid system (16) at a transfer point (15). The public electricity grid system (16) presets nominal values for the transfer point (15). A measurement sensor (29) measures electrical actual values at the transfer point (15). According to the invention, a master regulator (17, 27) which is associated with an upper control level, and a plurality of submaster regulators (18, 19, 30, 32, 33, 34), which are associated with a lower control level, are provided. The master regulator (17, 27) uses a difference between upper nominal values and upper actual values at the first control level to determine a preset for the second control level. The submaster regulators (18, 19, 30, 32, 33, 34) take the presets as lower nominal values and, on the basis of a difference between the lower nominal value and a lower actual value, make presets for a plurality of wind energy installations (11, 12, WEC). The invention also relates to a method for controlling a wind farm such as this. The invention allows a high level of control accuracy to be achieved even in large wind farms.

Abstract: A module for staging sample tubes and mixing the samples contained in the sample tubes for an automated clinical analyzer. In one embodiment, this module comprises a mixing drum, which is capable of mixing the contents of a sample tube in an end-over-end manner. The mixing drum is capable of mixing samples in the sample tubes without separating the solid compo-nents of the sample, e.g., red blood cells from the liquid components of the sample, e.g., plasma. A device for elevating the sample tube in the sample tube carrier can be used to enable the cap of the sample tube to be punctured by a piercing element in a piercing assembly. After the cap of the sample tube is punctured, a probe for aspirating the sample from said sample tube can obtain the sample in the receptacle of the sample tube through a bore in the piercing element. The piercing assembly can include a resiliently biased element for ejecting the sample tube from the piercing assembly.
